Well, I haven't posted in a while, so here is a bunch of the tatting I've done. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #134. Motif #22 of my second challenge. This Sweet Heart Tatted Bookmark by Kersti was made for my sister's birthday back in November. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #601 and #604. I made Jane Eborall's Badger Bookmark for my cousin's birthday, which was also in November. I really liked how this came out. The beads were a bit of a challenge, but I think they turned out looking nice. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #647 and #122. Motif #23 of my second challenge. This butterfly is Figure 214 in The Complete Book of Tatting by Rebecca Jones. I made it for my mother's birthday at the beginning of December. And now, here are the pieces I made as gifts for Christmas. Due to some scheduling errors on my part, I postponed making any of these until the start of December. I don't recommend waiting that long to start such a project, and will hopefully be better this year at making these throughout the year. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #601. First, a Cloverleaf Snowflake from Tatted Snowflakes, by Vida Sunderman. I forgot to take a picture of it until just before I gave it to my friend, hence the green background. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #601. For my oldest sister and her family, I made Figure 260 from The Complete Book of Tatting by Rebecca Jones. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #152. I really liked how this Elegant Snowflake from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman turned out. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #152. Then I made Figure 262, from The Complete Book of Tatting by Rebecca Jones. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #152. Motif #24 of my second challenge. I loved this Crystal Petal Snowflake, from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman. My friend loved it too. Done in Lizbeth size 20, # \601. Here's a Whirlaway Snowflake, from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman. I made two Dainty Snowflakes from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman. They were done in Lizbeth size 20, #601 and #151. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #601. This Tiny Snowflake, from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman, turned out really cute. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #601. I liked this Sparkling Snowflake, from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman. Done in Lizbeth size 20, # 671. Then I made a Poinsettia, from Christmas Angels and Other Tatting Patterns by Monica Hahn. This is probably one of my favorite pieces I tatted in December. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #601 and #151. A Minaret Snowflake from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #151. A Spoke Snowflake from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman. I actually made two of these, but the pictures I took of the other one (done in Lizbeth # 152 Christmas Green Mix) didn't turn out very well at all. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #671 and #151. A Ruffled-Star Snowflake, from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman. I think next time I do this pattern, I'll use less red thread. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #151, #671, and #601. Here is Figure 258, from The Complete Book of Tatting by Rebecca Jones. I like this pattern, and it reminds me a lot of the Brain Cell pattern by Martha Ess that I made back in June 2014. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #152 and #671. Motif #25 of my second challenge. This Holly is Figure 273, from The Complete Book of Tatting by Rebecca Jones. This is another of my favorites from this season of tatting. This is also the final motif of my second 25 Motif Challenge. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #152 and #671. A Trefoil Snowflake, from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman. This is another pattern that I made two of, and that the picture for the other one (done in Lizbeth #151 Angels Love) didn't turn out well enough to be posted here. I try to only post pictures if they display the featured tatting well enough that people can see the proper colors and easily see the fine details of the pattern that was used. I don't always succeed in taking the best picture, but most of the time there is at least one that is good enough to post. Anyway, I hope that the pictures I post are acceptable to all of you. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #152. Here is a Pinwheel Snowflake, from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman. Done in Lizbeth size 20, #152, #601, and #671. This final piece is one I made after doing the Holly Figure 273. I fiddled around with the leaves of that pattern, and then connected them to a central motif made of rings. Then I filled in the empty space with rings and chains made of Josephine Knots. I dubbed it the Hollyleaf Motif when naming the picture, but didn't actually write down the pattern while making it. I hope that you all have a wonderful new year of tatting, or whatever craft or hobby it is that you love to do!
